I ran Windows 7 RC on a Pentium 3 800MHz with 512Mb of RAM (it's actually usable for web surf)
And for a smoother experience, I had it installed on a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (that equivalent to a Pentium 4 1.8GHz), with 512MB of RAM.
So, really any CPU is fine for Win7. The question is now, what does your applications needs.
